Big Buck Bunny (code-named Peach) is a short animated film by the Blender Institute, part of the Blender Foundation.[4][5] Like the foundation's previous film Elephants Dream, the film is made using free software. Work began in October, 2007, the film was officially released in an April 10th, 2008 premiere in Amsterdam.[6] while online movie downloads and files were released on May 30th, 2008[7].

Following Elephants Dream, the short is the first project by the Blender foundation to be created by the Blender Institute, a division of the foundation set up specifically to facilitate the creation of open content films and games.[8] [9] The film was funded by the Blender Foundation, donations from the Blender community, pre-sales of the film's DVD and commercial sponsorship. Both the final product and production data, including animation data, characters and textures are released under the Creative Commons Attribution License.[8]
